Yet there is something interesting in taking weeks to prepare for the meaning and importance of Easter. I thought it might be beneficial to participate with so much of the world, for the experience.
Time set aside for daily scripture readings along with other inspirational literature.
Good to really ponder these things.
I wouldn't want to 'observe' fasts and liturgies year-round. That religious, repetitive manner of pursuing truth and righteousness can become so commonplace that meaning fades, monotonous drudgery sets in. At least for me.
However, this year, this Easter, while I have so much for which to be thankful, I'm taking the extra mindsight to look inward, to ponder and seek the Most Real Being, to think about.....God. And naturally, Jesus' life and death.
I especially like reading about Jesus' life. Can't wait to meet Him face to face in the Age to Come, the Kingdom of God. He impels me to want to know more, to sit at His feet, ask, and listen.
For now, though, I shall try to honor the God of the Passover and the Resurrected Savior with my meditations and my meals.
The family and I are 'unprocessed' this season of Lent. By thoughtful choice.We got a little off track after November. Not much. But somewhat.
Lent seems like a good time to give up the old comfort foods and concentrate on what is real.
In food and in Life.
"Sinful men and women can be changed into new creatures by the marvelous work of God in Christ Jesus, which is prior to all experience." ~~ Oswald Chambers
